Some ideas for getting up close to natural Australia:
• Exploring nature at her gentlest is easy as most of our great Australian cities flank national parks, spectacular coast or rivers and even offer peeks at the great forces of nature we treasure. They also provide a handy place from which to watch whales and dolphins in the seas and on their outskirts, walk fields of native wild flowers, visit forests, reefs, islands and sacred sites.
• If that’s too gentle, we have many wilder adventures for you to try. Why not try an underwater journey on one of our reefs, take a tour of a sacred site, trek through mountains eons old, walk on a canopy set high amongst an ancient forest, see how many of our 770 species of birds you can spot in our skies, or take a drive on the world’s largest sand island.
• Take your time to be mesmerized by the land as it meets the sea. Explore craggy cliffs continually carved by sea, walk on beaches with sand like talcum powder, enjoy the startling contrasts of red desert merging with blue water, and languish in the shade of rich rainforests at the water’s edge.
• Head inland – to the great Outback – and enjoy the formidable deserts and ancient wilderness areas that are so much a part of our heritage. This is a wonderful place to explore by four wheel drive or perhaps by plane if you believe the distances are just too great.
• Feast your eyes on the spectrum of vivid red, yellow, white, green and blue ancient landscapes, distinctive plants and intriguing wildlife that cannot be found anywhere else in the world – such as koalas, wombats and platypuses.
• Discover some of the oldest rainforest in the world and immerse yourself in the vibrant sounds and smells of nature – from waterfalls and wildlife, to the cry of our strange lyre bird and the whisper of wind in the eucalypts.
